Etnogeography

Ethnogeography is the study of how people’s cultures, communities, and ethnic groups are spread and distributed across different geographic areas. It examines the ways in which cultural practices, language, traditions, and group identities influence where populations settle, migrate, and develop in various landscapes. By analyzing spatial patterns and cultural landscapes, ethnogeography helps us understand the relationship between people and their environment, revealing how geography shapes cultural identities and vice versa. It’s a blend of anthropology, geography, and sociology aimed at understanding the spatial dynamics of cultural groups.
